Things Change

Produced by: Ron Gilmore

Yeah things change, things change
Things change *****

Pick up the pen, time to write my sins away
Right my wrongs and then life goes on
B*****s be calling, then mistakenly ****** be falling
I *** * them and I leave them, forever picture me balling
With cash that I never had, Im trying to stretch a million
Hoping it forever lasts, a fear of going broke
Cause most ***** * I know can barely make the car note
Can barely keep the rent paid, so Im like Da Vinci
Painting pictures to last centuries since like the 10th grade
Carolina ***** with New York plates
My template, switch states and swerve, mixtapes was served
Get cake, absurd, and has big plates, preferred
You heard, my every word
Potentially could free us all, now thats a heavy burden
Sometimes Id rather get some head and watch my wealth grow
Cause things change, am I the same one you fell for?
One side screaming 'hell no' other side holding on for dear life
Lately ***** I feel like, I aint that young frail ***** that I used to be
Pardon my ways girl, Im still getting used to me
Cause things change, Im still getting used to me
I aint that old shy ***** that I used to be
B*****s watching ****** plotting on me, truthfully
Gotta be careful what you wish for, as you can see
Things change

Things change, itll never be the same
Ive never been the one to settle, itll never be the same
(Yeah, things change)
Nothing ever stays the same, itll never be the same
(Things change)
Nothing ever stays the same

I told you, raindrops do fall
But see, these clouds aint the same that you saw
My memory banks got some pain to withdraw
I am not afraid, I am not unscathed and
Dont use bandaids but, back in the days I was stressing a grip
The only black in my class wondering, where do I sit?
College campus too fast, now depression exists
Like Im less than equipped, feeling destined to quit
Then you appeared, made me see myself without a mirror
See, I never shared all the fears of my peers
Im thinking about this African queen, loved her body
But shes more than just the back of her jeans, shes a magical dream
I fell hard with such a frail heart
She taught me that A***h was just her way to spell God
And she was my American pie, so cultured
Her intelligence ahead of her time, looked at my face
And with a smile called me Elephant Eyes, a secret nickname
Always seems to settle my mind, cause I guess it reminds me of you
Which reminds me of love, which reminds me of truth
Which is all the above, recently liquors in my body, its all on my tongue
I changed into something they thought Id never become
Give you my food for thought, its more than a plate of soul food
If you wanna change, gotta escape your own rules
Things change *****

Things change, itll never be the same
Ive never been the one to settle, itll never be the same
(Yeah, things change)
Nothing ever stays the same, itll never be the same
(Things change )
Nothing ever stays the same
(Things change baby)
